She was never going to flip. This isn’t about her flipping. Its about the fact nearly all of our leadership will support Gaza being flattened, and the Palestinians being eradicated.
She was never going to flip.
Yeah, genocide support is a bedrock principle, unlike things she has flipped on, like M4A and banning fracking.
Write to and call your representative. That’s how politicians know you’re upset.
Has anyone here done either of those things?
My rep is a maga chud, thanks to the party pulling funding from her opponent because they would rather have a maga chud than a progressive in any given seat.
So your answer is no then? Representatives don’t get as much contact as you think. Apply pressure wherever and whenever you can, even if that legislator does nothing in the years to come, every person applying pressure moves the needle. Doing nothing does nothing. Legislators like to keep their jobs and will suddenly have a change of heart if they feel their job is threatened. That takes hundreds of people in each district making their dissatisfaction known. Be the change you wish to see.
Parties pull funding when it’s clear there is no path to victory, so they can ensure victory elsewhere. That’s not them “rather have a maga chud” that’s strategic. You would be just as angry if they wasted money on a loss. I’ve seen your views all over lemmy, whatever narrative says the party did wrong, that’s the narrative you’ll take. Volunteer for the next candidate that runs, prove to the party that they have support and maybe funding will actually stick around. You’re an open book, no action, all anger.
I can’t provide the millions in campaign dollars that CUFI and AIPAC give to my reps. Money controls politics and most of the money is pro-genocide
